What color is Sherwin Williams Refuge?
Sherwin Williams Refuge SW 6228 is a deep blue-green that sits between weathered teal and dark ocean water. Its gray cast keeps the color muted rather than tropical, giving it enough depth for a study, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry. In north-facing light, Refuge can read cooler and bluer, while warm lamps and late-afternoon sun bring out more of its green undertone. Pair it with soft warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and pale stone to keep the room from feeling too dark. On larger walls, it has a grounded, enveloping look; on cabinets or a front door, it makes a strong accent without appearing overly bright.

LRV of Refuge
Refuge has an LRV of 18.42% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 18.42%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
